Hi, Laura. Your jewelry display is actually an Eastern style Hannukah menorah--eight lights plus one on the side. You would fill the little reservoirs with olive oil and add small floating wicks. Similar to an old Roman oil lamp. Cool find.
Dona Rosa of Oaxaca invented the technique for creating the black pottery that would become so famous. she passed away a long time ago but there is still a workshop with her name. At least there was 30+ years ago.
Laura! Make sure to look up Dona Rosa, San Bartolo Coyotepec, Oaxaca. She is a significant potter who invented the burnishing technique that creates the black color and the shiny patina of the black Oaxacan pottery. She died in the early 80s. Her family continues to produce the pottery but your little vintage pitcher could have been made by her hands. The floral appliqué that appears on your pitcher, I do not remember seeing this embellishment on the black pottery that is sold in galleries in Coyotepec currently. Now, it's more popular for the artist to cut holes through the clay or to incise rhythmic linear designs. Perhaps the clay dries faster this way or perhaps it's just a more contemporary look.
I think the earring display would work with a solid color/more simple pair of earrings, but it is a bit busy with the snake earrings. (Love those earrings though!)
Thank you so, so much for filming and show us your shopping adventures. My dream would be to come on one of your trips, but due to distance, it isn’t possible, BUT watching your videos makes me feel part of the fun. I love all of your videos ❤ THANK YOU 🙏
This is the weekend for the Svensen Grange fleamarket, still hoping to to see you coming to our fleamarket. Went down to Newport with my husband and visited some of the shops that you visited.Thanls for the tips it helped me plan our two day trip.
Now knowing your earring display is a Menorah, I’m not sure I’d use it to display anything. It’s an amazing piece of history. So many great finds for you!❣️
The art deco birds had me thinking about the Sphinx gate in the Neverending Story. I realize there were human elements to it, but it makes me feel similarly. 😅
looks like the Art Deco style brass birds sculpture was an awesome find. just found a pic of it on Goodman's antiques and estate jewelry listed for $330 US! they said it was cira 1980
That was a fun video - thank you. I believe that the ladies name you called Donna, (I think I saw it spelled Dona (with a mark on top) is pronounced DOAN YA, Spanish. Hope that helps
Too busy for earring display. I would use it for a necklace display and hang the necklaces on the little spikes. Hanging on a wall with a neutral background perfect necklace display
Wow! What great finds, Laura! Liked your red dress with white needlework, too. Trips look amazing, and sure they will be. Those particular ER's a little too busy for that brass piece as display, I think. Maybe something more solid like the sterling with gold would work, or beaded red tassel like you were wearing. Cat
Just wondering if the jewelry holder could also be used as a key holder? Also, can the peacocks be used to hold pretty binded books in the center? Just curious....love all your finds!!
Hey Laura! I was wondering if you could do a video on how to stage and photograph jewelry! I have had some that I need to list but I don’t even know where to start. And it seems really difficult to capture the small intricate details. What do you think?
What ever happened to your Japan trip video? I’m going back to Japan October 1st and was hoping to see if maybe there are places I should go to that I missed on my first visit.

Thought so too. I took a guess on that piece!

I have 3 of her black clay works signed by her statues of local people in a sitting position I just love them found each one at a goodwill in SO CA.

Earring display , too busy but you could hang necklaces on it or keys. Sorry for being so blunt.
Your channel is such a comfort place for me ❤

You should host a thrifting trip on the west coast. Although the thrifting trips across the pond is great not all can afford those.
Stay Tuned…..😉
I had a picture from when I was in New Mexico two years ago and there were steps just like you just showed gorgeous gorgeous
Background of holder is too busy for earrings
That painting reminds me of New Orleans French Quarter
Love, love California landscapes. I have 2. Large one above my couch and a medium smaller one. They're so colorful.
Wow, Laura --- AWESOME deals on the jewelry --- OMG!!!
Thank you for another great experience! 😊

Love your channel! You scored on the Begay piece! I love your jewelry finds, especially the vintage turquoise. 🩵

Too busy. I just started binge watching your videos and the other day I found a Bitossi here in Duluth, Minnesota for$2.99! Crazy! Thank you!! 😍
YAY!!!!!
great buys Merilyn UK
wow great haul
I believe the ear rings were lost in the jewelry display. They are both beautiful but the two together take from the other.
It's my birthday thanks for Paris 😊
Absolutely wonderful finds and I love learning about what you find your a wealth of information
I had a great fine I got 7 pieces of paul storie pottery for $20.00 and there worth about $300.00 😊

Loved that red dress on you!
That was an amazing jewelry haul!

I have that exact small white retro lamp.
the price you paid for that F. Begay Dine/Navajo bear necklace was amazing!!!
Great fines.

On the pottery from Oaxaca Doña means “Mrs”

Earring display is too busy but you could use to hang keys from or necklaces on it.
The bird looks very much like artist Mark Chatterly's work
The earring display is beautiful but too busy imo. The eye gets confused on what to focus on.

Hang necklaces rather than earrings otherwise too busy
Necklaces would be wonderful on the piece you bough5 for earrings! Not so much for earrings though….
Earring display to busy
Laura does Oregon City have a flea market once a month?
I think so also not good for earrings. Necklace would be better.
I tried to search for your steel & brass brutalist sandpiper sculpture. No luck. Slightly similar are listed 275-400.
❤❤❤
I think the pair of birds would be a huge doorstop statement!🎉
The new earring stand makes the picture too busy.
Where do you get your sterling chains?
Too busy:(
Earring display is a bit too busy and my eye goes to it first over the earrings you are trying to display.
❤
To busy
Clearly, I live on the wrong side of the country 😑
Too busy to display earrings
No, I don't think it is too busy. The color of the earrings make them pop.
Background is too busy.
Too busy🤔
❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Too busy
😘👏👏🇦🇷🇦🇷
Too busy. for me .
Really way too busy.
